His technique focused on precision and clarity. In works like the Portret van Hendrik Danielsz. Hooft and his Zelfportret van Rienk Jelgerhuis, he favoured a direct gaze and clean lines. He frequently depicted historical figures alongside his living subjects, including portraits of Hugo de Groot and Maria van Reigersberch. His style avoided the heavy ornamentation of the earlier Baroque period. He adopted a Neoclassical restraint that suited the political climate of the Dutch Republic.

Modern collectors value these prints for their historical accuracy and formal composition. The muted tones of his portraiture integrate into contemporary interiors. Works like Allegorie op de Staatzucht provide a narrative element that complements minimalist decor. These pieces offer a connection to Dutch history without the visual clutter of more decorative movements.
